Dave — you may be interested to know that the Dojo integration in ZF is now complete and in trunk. It makes it ridiculously easy to dojo-enable your forms, as well as utilize dojo’s layout widgets. Perhaps the time savings coupled with the licensing will sway your manager. :)

Cheers Wil, I know about the Licensing for the Zend Framework and I’ve already got my trainee developers using it for their mini projects. Now we’ve broken the ice with Dojo, it’s only a matter of time before I sneak ZF in to our main product!

Another good thing is that having spoke to my direct manager, we’ll be looking to sign corporate CLAs and give back bug fixes at the very least.

I hope your management has no concerns about Zend Framework’s licensing. It is very similar to Dojo’s and also requires signed CLA’s from all contributors. In fact, Dojo’s licensing and CLA policy made it one of the few JS toolkits that we could even consider shipping with ZF. It was just a happy coincidence that we also consider it the best JS toolkit. ;)
I’m very happy to hear that the Dojo’s CLA is making adoption of FOSS easier in your workplace; this is one thing we were definitely hoping to do with the ZF CLA.

Best!
,Wil

Maybe a Two Step View approach will be more extendable. What if you want to add some divs here and there?
A good overview on buffering, but with frameworks and plugins now we have better solutions.

Oh yeah, don’t get me wrong, if it can be done without SimpleXML then go for it.

My initial problem required something this complex. It basically required modifying a specfic set of tags, with SimpleXML I could run an XPath query and modify them, but easier than writing very complex regular expressions etc.

An ingenious solution, but wouldn’t it have been easier to do this with str_replace()? E.g.

$buffer = str_replace(”, ”, $buffer);

Should run much faster than parsing the entire document as XML.
